SCORING KEY
Updated information regarding the rating of this examination may be posted on the New
York State Education Department’s web site during the rating period. Visit the site
http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/osa/ and select the link “Examination Scoring Information” for any
recently posted information regarding this examination. This site should be checked before the
rating process for this examination begins and at least one more time before the final scores for
the examination are recorded.
Mechanics of Rating
• Use only red ink or red pencil in rating proficiency examination papers. Do not attempt to
correct the student’s work by making insertions or changes of any kind.
• Use check marks [] to indicate incorrect or omitted answers. Do not place a check mark
beside a correct answer.
• Record the credit for each part and subpart in the appropriate credit box on the student’s
answer sheet.
• In Parts IIA, IIIA, and IV, if more than the required number of questions have been
answered, rate only the required number, in the order in which they appear on the
student’s answer sheet.
• Record the total examination score (the sum of the credits the student received for each
part) in the appropriate space in the box in the upper right corner of the answer sheet.
At this time, any fractional credit should be raised to the next credit.
• Check carefully for mechanical errors (e.g., addition). Using a calculator might be helpful.
• Write your initials clearly in the appropriate space on the answer sheet.
Part I
